I had to reply Haris's post, but sparko closed that topic. So I'm starting a new thread here. Other people are also welcome to share their views.... First you tell me at what point exactly did I disrespected you religion? Now secondly, You say you respect our religion. Let me ask you something here... 1- "Do you believe in our gods?" 2- "Do you or do you not, call them 'False Idols'?" (A big disrespect I'd say.) 3- "You do not bow down to them?" You say that respecting other religion's scriptures, commands and emotions is also a part of respecting those religions, right? But you don't even do that. You don't follow commands written in our scriptures. You simply reject everything written in our scriptures about our gods. And by doing that you hurt and disrespect the sentiments and emotions. Now you tell me, What is there left that you actually respect? Now I really think mentioning Bukhari is a complete waste of time because clearly that person is completely out of his mind, But since you seem to agree with him, I had to write a few things about that. Hopefully that will change your mind about this person, who clearly doesn't want Hindu-Muslims to live in peace as he always speaks about Hindu-Muslim Riots whenever he opens his mouth. I think the Shahi Imam does not deserve his title or office because he seems to be ignorant of what Islam teaches and the spiritual meaning and message of Vande Mataram. I propose to try and introduce the Imam to the nobility of Islam, which he does not understand. No Muslim member objected to Vande Mataram being sung at the time of Independence. This is a requirement for national solidarity and integration. The Shahi Imam's repudiation of Vande Mataram is an act of betrayal of a solemn pledge and amounts to sedition and treason. I ask you: Must not one respect the earth which takes your excreta and converts it into the food you eat for nourishment and without which you will be dead? Remember that Anna is fighting to retrieve the stolen wealth of poor Muslims and Hindus alike. If Bukhari continues to wallow in his misunderstanding of the teachings of the Holy Quran then logically he should treat India as Dar-ul-Harb. His plain duty is to migrate. India would be perfectly justified in depriving him of his citizenship. What the Imam should be teaching his followers are poems of Kabir: To be honest, most of the educated and open minded Muslim brothers here has stopped listening to his bullshxt and I hope soon you will too.
